Gluten Free and Frugal

One of my most popular offerings is a naturally gluten free cookie! I've had several people say to me, "My mom/grandma made cookies just like these but I've never found a similar recipe!" I actually got this recipe from my late grandmother. I started perfecting this recipe when I was a young teen.  It's extremely easy. I always double the recipe because it's easier for me to remember.  1 jar of peanut butter 2 cups of sugar (I sometimes add a third) 2 regular sized eggs  I add all the ingredients together and mix it.

If you wish to support me doin...
